About Chaim Gross
Chaim Gross (1902-91) was an American sculptor whose prolific career spanned seven decades.

His work is in public and private collections throughout the United States, with a significant portion at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C. A philanthropist as well as a collector, Gross donated hundreds of objects to museums around the world. He collected broadly, with a focus on the work of his American contemporaries and African arts.
